Canvass Of Some Names In Connection
Vfth the Commission.
Washington speciA!: There is good
authority for stating that neither Judge
Reagan nor Senator Cullom has volun-
teered any suggestion to the president, nor
has either been called into consultation by
him on the subject OF the appointment OF
inter state commerce commissioners. 1t
is believed that the commissioner from the
Middle states will be taken from Illinois,
and the names Of Civil Service Commits.
soner Oberly and Receiver Cool are men
TONED for the place. As between the two

Oberly. 1t has been difficult for the quid

that 1t was measure that would expose
the commissioners to the influence OF cor.
ruption. 1t is understood that the presi.

influences which he so graphically depicted.
